FM Logistic has announced a partnership with platform Plug and Play, whose Supply Chain & Logistics’ global program is currently running its fifth program in Silicon Valley and has accelerated 103 start-ups to date. The program is cooperating with 40 companies including Walmart, L’Oréal, DHL, Shell, ExxonMobil, Ericsson, Panalpina, BASF, Prologis, and Tchibo.
Together with its logistics real estate sister company NG Concept, FM Logistic aims to expand its cooperation with supply chain start-ups as part of its innovation strategy. It also hopes to have the opportunity to work with supply chain start-ups in Plug and Play’s global network and help them test their ideas or solutions in real life settings, and potentially discover different innovations and emerging trends across international markets. Areas of cooperation will cover solutions to improve e-commerce and omnichannel fulfilment.
“FM Logistic aims to expand its cooperation with start-ups to develop new logistics offerings and ease the transition to green logistics,” says Xavier Prévost, group business solutions and information systems director FM Logistic. “In recent years, we have worked with a variety of start-ups, testing technologies and devices ranging from exoskeletons, drones, AI and warehouse automation tools. We embrace innovation that enhances service quality and efficiency.”
